make sure you go into one of their spice shops. The aromas are out of this world.

Jerash is really cool too if you have time and the Roman ruins in Amman. Petra

A Wadi Rum tour is the other thing to consider doing

Was Wadi Rum a full day?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

I'd schedule one full day

Why?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

10/18/21 4:43pm

Because Jordan = Gaza. Or something?

LiveCoug

10/18/21 4:44pm

nah. it's not like that

Cougarclaw

10/18/21 4:53pm

Yeah, I'm not worried at all. Compared to places I've been in Africa and SW Asia

I'd go rental car

If you do, make sure to take the insurance. It will be scraped up.

Careem/Uber
